  • BUF General Manager
    The Bills have requested permission to interview Panthers assistant GM Brandon Beane for their general manager vacancy.
    The Bills are looking for someone to work in concert with coach Sean McDermott, and McDermott is looking toward the team he arrived from. It’s been made abundantly clear McDermott is running the show in Buffalo. He wants a personnel man who will do his bidding.
  • NYG Tackle #78
    Giants LT Andrew Thomas said he would have an MRI on his foot after Sunday’s Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
    Thomas said his foot was “not great” after the game, so we’ll see what the MRI reveals later in the coming days. Thomas has been a solid presence along an offensive line that is currently graded as PFF’s 14th-best pass-blocking unit. He’s allowed four sacks on 16 pressures while earning a pass-blocking grade of 71.8. If he’s unable to go in Week 7 against the Eagles, Jermaine Eluemunor would likely slide over to the left side while Evan Neal mans the right side of the line.
  • JAX Running Back #1
    Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Travis Etienne is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury.
    Etienne exited in Sunday’s game against the Bears with the injury and did not return to the field. His absence resulted in Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson splitting the backfield, with Johnson actually out-snapping Bigsby 35-17. Johnson was utilized as the primary pass-catching back with Etienne out, and ran a route on 25 of his snaps while also seeing six carries. Bigsby will profile as a game-script dependent back while Etienne is out, but should see plenty of opportunities in Week 7 against the Patriots.
  • NYJ Linebacker #7
    Jets EDGE Haason Reddick has hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent and is working toward ending his holdout.
    Just days after CAA, Reddick’s previous agents, parted ways with him, Reddick has now hired Rosenhaus in hopes of securing the deal he’s been seeking since last offseason while he was still with the Eagles. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Reddick also hired agent Ryan Matha, who will be present with Reddick and Rosenhaus at tonight’s Monday night contest against the Bills. Reddick hasn’t done anything with the Jets since his introductory press conference, and would likely need a few weeks to get ramped up if he does join the team in the coming days.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #17
    Wan’Dale Robinson caught 5-of-11 targets for 50 yards in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
    In typical Wan’Dale fashion, 11 targets led to just 50 receiving yards in a low-aDOT role over the middle of the field. The Giants struggled mightily to move the football again in this one and have now failed to score more than 15 points in any of their three home games this season. That is not a trend to instill confidence with the Eagles on deck in Week 7.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #86
    Darius Slayton caught 6-of-11 targets for 57 yards in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
    Slayton operated as the clear top dog in the Giants’ pass attack for the second consecutive week without Malik Nabers, this time failing to return the same counting stats as he did in Week 5 when he went over 100 yards and found the end zone. Slayton is not typically counted on to be the top wide receiver for the Giants, meaning his fantasy value is likely to fall back to earth once Nabers returns from a concussion suffered in Week 5. That could come as early as Week 7 when the Giants play host to the division rival Eagles.
  • NYG Running Back #29
    Tyron Tracy rushed 17 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals, adding 57 yards on six receptions.
    Tracy nearly doubled the yardage output of any of New York skill position player on a night both Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson saw 11 targets. That said, Devin Singletary appears to be near a return, something that should push Tracy back to a change of pace role. Up next for Tracy and the Giants are the Eagles at home in Week 7.
  • NYG Quarterback #8
    Daniel Jones completed 22-of-41 passes for 205 yards and one interception in the Giants’ 17-7, Week 6 loss to the Bengals, adding 56 yards on 11 carries.
    Jones and the Giants failed to get anything going on offense until they converted two fourth downs consecutively in the third quarter, a drive capped off by a Tyrone Tracy rushing score to mark the first touchdown the team has scored at home through three home games this season. In fact, the Giants average under 10 points per game through their first three homes games in 2024. Head coach Brian Daboll and the rest of the organization have some soul searching to do considering how well their defense has played to this point in the season, with Week 6 yet another example of the team allowing 21 points or fewer. After being blown out by the Vikings in their opener, the Giants have held the subsequent five opponents to 21 points or fewer, but have just two wins to show for it. Things don’t get any easier as the Giants prepare to host the Eagles in Week 7.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #80
    Andrei Iosivas caught 2-of-3 targets for 36 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants.
    The lone target Iosivas failed to corral was one directed his way in the end zone. Joe Burrow simply failed to get enough on the ball when forced to throw off his back foot in the face of pressure, narrowly missing on an under-thrown ball in the middle of the end zone. Iosivas has returned inconsistent fantasy production throughout the season, making him a difficult start in managed leagues moving forward.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #1
    Ja’Marr Chase caught 5-of-6 targets for 72 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants.
    Chase finished second on the team in receiving behind Tee Higgins on a night the Bengals struggled with consistency in the face of relentless pressure from the ferocious New York defensive front. The team would bookend their scoring, finding paint on their first possession and last possession, but managing a lone field goal between. Better days are surely in store for the electric veteran, although the team has another stiff test in Week 7 when they travel to Cleveland to face the Browns.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Tee Higgins caught all seven targets for 77 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants.
    The fact that Higgins led the team with just 77 yards through the air is more of an indictment against the way the Bengals performed against the Giants rather than a glaring endorsement. Even so, Higgins continued returning usable fantasy weeks and was targeted once in the red zone, ultimately being tackled at the one. An offensive holding penalty on the subsequent play would push the Bengals back 10 yards and lead to their only field goal of the night. Another difficult test awaits the Cincinnati pass offense when the Bengals travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in Week 7.
